Yes, it can be a pain when a pin that you know should have a fixed
voltage on it goes OC. I have fixed these by jumpering from the OC
pin to the nearest source. I have never had a ground side go OC
though.
I remember a few years back when I regularly had to repair new
mainboards because vias had gone OC. In every case it was due to
corrosion that had taken place because the boards had not been
properly dried before lacquering had been applied. Bad QC, very bad
QC !!
